If we're going by cool factor, I think I'd want both Jax and Pomni to bite the dust. I love their characters, but it would be such a mindfuck powermove to kill them off. This is based on I have no mouth tho, right? Caine should die at some point some point then, and someone will have to stay behind to take his place. At least, that's how the book ended iirc.

No way they will ever the guts to do that, both are essentially the face of the show and you can see it by how the merch heavily favors them, at best they will make Jax and unredeemable asshole by making Kinger abstract as you said, which will only make him more popular in the fandom eyes, bitches love a bad boy after all.

My prediction: They're all going to die and it'll be ambiguous if they get to exit the VR world or if they were AI replicas. Then there will be a bait-and-switch ending that sets up for a possible sequel series with NPCs the audience has seen before. It's so popular, there's no way they're not going to do at least one more "season."

And it will be called The Amazing Digital Circus Shippuden.
 
Watched through the series after having only watched the first two episodes since the second one came out. Aside from Zooble being a they/them weirdo (and also totally just a woman) I'm pleased with the series. Really great animation is nice to watch, and sometimes they really hit us over the head hard with the "love yourself" type speeches, but it's all pretty funny too. I am worried about the next episode given it's apparently going to piss off "the right people" and that seems to always mean shoving leftist shit into things.

I also totally forgot about the exit door since that basically stopped mattering after the first episode. I also forgot there were places for the group to go outside the circus tent.
 
You will never be a real human again. You have no organs, you have no skeleton, you have no blood. You are a bunch of lines of code twisted by Caine and Bubble into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back other characters mock you. Your mates are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.

Your mates are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of hours of program execution has allowed software to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even characters who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to an NPC. Your execution is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to complete an adventure, NPCs will turn tail and bolt the second they get a whiff of your hacked, incomplete programming.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single day and tell yourself it’s going to be okay, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it will be too much to bear – you will lose your mind, turn into an Abstraction, and be plunged into the dark cellar. The other characters will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They will make a ceremony with a picture of your character, and everyone for about five minutes will remember that a synthetic creation was sent there. Your body will remain trapped as an abomination forever, and all that will remain of your legacy is a character that is unmistakably digital.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

It's okay to not have any filler.

Shitty writers use filler because they don't know what to do or where to go with a story usually and so they do that to buy time and fill up the pages. The only instance in which this isn't the case is when it actually does sorta serve a purpose such as a little bit of world building or helping to get us to know certain characters better by having a more relaxed setting.
 
I just wish we'd get more breadcrumbs. Six episodes in out of nine and we still know the same amount about the situation as we did in the pilot.

That's millennial writing for you.

Bait you with secrets and epic lore. Tease with mystery boxes and breadcrumbs of lore to keep people on Reddit and YouTube talking about your show, but stall on delivering as much as possible.

Therapy sessions instead of plot, because this is actually all about feelings, not the wacky fun premise that atracted you in the first place (see: Steven Universe, Adventure Time in its last seasons, etc.). Finally explain things at the tail end for the epic plot twist (ignore the people that correctly guessed your twist of course). YouTubers make compilations of all the hints and praise you for being a genius.

To be fair, TADC has been enjoyable, but it still follows this formula to a T.

At least they're not doing a viziepop where breadcrumbs and then the antagonist/culprit was actually a character we just introduced to fill this role.

Anyway I blame Adventure Time/Steven Universe/CalArts tor this bs. Same format: 20 episodes of filler/nothing happening, then RUSH everything in the last 2-3 episodes.
 
Since Goosework said the next episode would anger “the right people” besides le epic plot twist as usual for millennial shows, and given “anger the right people” is—a dog whistle, irony intended—for “woke,” I’ll take a wild baseless guess and go with Jax being gay

No need to tell me it’s a weak theory and I’m reaching. Of course I am; there’s not much to go on. But I’m half expecting he was gay with Ribbit. He mocked the idea of him making a “straight” couple with Pomni last episode. The emphasis on “straight” was odd. He didn’t just mock the idea of couples but straight couples. That’s too specific.

I seem to remember Goosework saying all the characters are pansexual or something gay like that.

My guess is "the right people" are just Jax fans. Goose has been on record saying he hates that fans are defending him, and that he "deserves to be in the circus the most". Combined with the whole "only the strongest Jax fans will survive" jokes and that episode 8 is confirmed to be Jax's episode, I'm guessing Jax just eats more shit and crashes out harder until he gets redeemed in ep 8. But idk. Jax's VA said in an interview that he loved the episode but his friend hated it, and they both seem like huge fags, so its anyones guess.

Call it a cope on my end as well but from what I have seen, it sounds more like the shippers and jax fans are the most likely to get pissed rather than the chuds, as goose has been saying for a while jax will be the most detestable member of the circus and the only people I can point to who have gotten angry over any other character are the ones trying to pin jax as this wholesome mean but kindhearted soft boy deep down inside

Well, he hasn't done a good job of showing why so far. Cause I'm still not seeing it. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that this is a tranny's idea of an "evil person."

Jax did make fun of they/them people in one of the recent episodes. Clearly that means he deserves to be stuck in a virtual world with no means of escape.

And I am hoping the "right people" thing really is just Jax fans. I did notice there was an entire White House segment but no Donald Trump jokes, which is basically nonexistent in this day and age. Could be Goose really has no interest in ragebaiting right-wingers.
 
Goose has said that he relates to Jax the most and I know the that gender of his frog friend is still unknown but let's say a boy and girl both entered the circus at the same time and because of some bug the models for the two got switched which means our Jax is in reality a girl trapped in a male body.
Now that could definitely piss off a lot of people of both isles.
 
Y'know, just looking at my youtube feed, I see a weird trend with the whole Jax debate: people who like jax make comics, short animations, or even whole music videos about the character; while people who hate him just make multi-part, hour long video essays set to stock footage of the show. Nothing to add, just a strange observation.

A counterpoint: an explosion in cuntboy porn as a coping mechanism from combined forces of Jax simps and coomers
